Replaced alternator, Battery Voltage at 12.0 volts, Red Battery Light on (83 240D)

Did I get a bad alternator?
For a few minutes, the voltage read 14.0 volts after I replaced my Alternator and checked it with a VOM.
I took the car for a spin. The red charge indicator came on and when I got home, the voltage was a dead 12.0 volts.
Is there anything else "glitching"? I checked the Wiring Diagram and everything seem straightforward enough.
What the &(((%!! is going on. I am starting to get superstitious abou this car. My 300D never needs work, but my 240D keeps on breaking down....I am getting ready to trash this car,,,I think its cursed sometimes..
